Chapter 1374 - Chapter 1374 Chapter 1374 They Dont Have the Guts

Chapter 1374: Chapter 1374: They Don’t Have the Guts Chapter 1374: Chapter 1374: They Don’t Have the Guts Willie Novak coldly turned away, “Penny, if you want to live well, don’t provoke them, understand?”

Penny nodded rigidly, her back already soaked with sweat.

She knew that Willie and Xavier Hamer were good friends, but they had already fallen out, and it had been so long since their dispute, but Willie still cared so much for Xavier?

Willie’s long legs moved aside, his distinct fingertips tapped the seat, “Right now, I need to deal with the Brooke family’s affairs, and I don’t have time to deal with you. But remember, don’t go too far in anything, otherwise, even if I don’t clean up after you, someone else will.”

Other than fear, a trace of unwillingness rose in Penny’s heart. Why, after so long, Willie’s heart still couldn’t let go of Xaviera and Xavier? Even when they publicly threatened him, he wasn’t angry, and even protected them?

She clenched her fists tightly, lowering her head and stifling her reply, “I’ll remember.”

Willie smiled in satisfaction and motioned for her to get into the car, then he closed his eyes wearily.

As the car slowly stopped in front of the luxurious villa, Willie got out and instructed the driver to take Penny to her residence, then left without looking back.

Years ago, he had intended to approach Xaviera and give her warmth in her most vulnerable moments. Originally, when the miracle doctor Saint Hand and his disciples arrived at the village, they only wanted to take Xaviera away, but he ingratiated himself with Xavier and Xaviera, feigning sadness, so they begged Saint Hand to take him with them.

As Saint Hand still had concerns, he arranged for Willie to stay at the foot of the mountain. Over the years, he had never gone up the mountain. He treated Saint Hand with great respect and focused on studying medicine. Saint Hand saw his talent for medicine and humble demeanor, not competing or fighting for power, so he agreed to accept him as a disciple.

After a long time of disguising himself, he could finally achieve his wish and go up the mountain amidst everyone’s expectations. Unfortunately, the good times didn’t last, and that incident occurred…

Willie recalled the past, his eyes full of mockery, wondering why Xavier even asked him those questions today. Clearly, six years ago, he had already given the answer. Since he had made a choice then, he wouldn’t change it now.

As smart as Xavier was, how could he not understand?

…

At this time, in the banquet hall, the auction had ended, and everyone had left.

Using the excuse to chat privately with Caleb Mamet, Xavier hurriedly fled Xaviera’s sight.

The two of them sat in the Restroom, and Caleb remained silent, just looking at him with an ambiguous smile, as his deep eyes saw through everything.

Xavier felt oddly flustered, took a deep breath, and forced himself to calm down, “I heard that Mr. Taylor from the Brooke family had his hand chopped off, does Mr. Caleb Mamet know about it?”

“Wesley Taylor?” Caleb Mamet responded calmly.

Xavier leaned back on the sofa, his lips suddenly curving, “Was it you?”

“Yes.” Caleb admitted frankly, “He deserved it, and now the Brooke family has made a fuss about it.”

“No matter what, Wesley is from the Brooke family, and suddenly having his hand chopped off is a disgrace to the family. I heard that Wesley tried to force Xaviera into marriage before, so I guessed it was you. Since I could guess that, naturally, the Brooke family could also guess it was you. You dared to do such a thing on their turf, aren’t you afraid of their revenge?” Xavier asked.

Caleb’s eyes were deep and emotionless, and he suddenly chuckled after a moment of silence, “I’m afraid they don’t have the guts.”

Xavier’s gaze flashed with surprise. The Brooke family were considered top-ranked aristocrats in Yittaland, with power and influence. How could Caleb say such arrogant words on their turf?

All was silent for a while, then Xavier slowly said, “I have investigated the Brooke family, and the original family head suddenly disappeared. The current one is just a temporary substitute, but after tasting the sweetness of power, who would willingly give it up?”

“Willie… Willie Novak took this opportunity to eliminate opposing parties and seize almost half of the Brooke family’s power. Although the Brooke family appears chaotic on the surface, their strength is still not to be underestimated. Therefore, it’s best not to involve Xaviera in anything, and there can’t be a repeat of Wesley’s incident.”

Xavier’s tone suddenly turned cold, “I am sure that Willie will not target Xaviera, but the reason why Mrs. Taylor went along with Zora Hughes’s wishes and went to Libanan to propose was because of you, Mr. Caleb Mamet, wasn’t it?”

Caleb’s face remained unchanged, and there was no awkwardness in being exposed.
